For me, I like to use tooth stick to make one or two holes on the green peppers, this will help the green peppers to absorb the sauce well....( this process is optional if you think that it is troublesome ..)

In Korea, summer is the harvest season for corns. Corns from the Kangwon Province (강원도/ 江原道）are Korean favourite. I was told that the best way to keep the best taste of the corns is to steam the corns immediately on the day after picking them from the farms. If you buy them in bulk,steam the corns and keep in the freezer, steam the corns again whenever you want to eat....oh,yes! Don't throw away the ears of the corns, place them on the bottom of the steamer and steam together with the corns, the taste will be more better....
